 The meeting of 'tThe Quinnebaug As, sociation" in the Universalist church was an interesting and profitable one. Ser mo11s full of christian insight, sympathy and helpfulness were preached by Rev. 5. A. Davis of Hartford, Rev. MT. Jenkins of Norwich and Rev. Wm. Dearborn of Hart ford. May the beautiful lessons so we'll enforced be needed by all. The cordial aud unstinted hospitality of the local church was appreciated by all. Special mention should be made of the beautiful and inspir- ing singing of the choir under the leader ship of Mir. Dimock. Its excellence was the occasion of genuine and general enthu- siasm. Rev. Mr. Maxham, the honored and beloved pastor of the church for so many years, was present and by his ten der ministrations in prayer and at the 'scommunion table" rejoiced and uplifted the hearts of all. Rev.S. A. Davis of Hart ford was chosen president of the associa- tion. Norwich was chosed as the place of meeting next year. Rev. J. F. Simmons of Stafford was elected to preach the stocca- sional sermon ;
 Great improvement is noted in the singing at the Universalist church, partly due to the new chorister, MT. Dimock, an excellent choir organizer, and partly to the wealth of new material which he found ready to be made available in that import ant branch of worship. S1

 For some time there has been a growing call on the part of investors for bond which will not by its terms mature in so short a time as or 5 years, as is the case with the Farm Mortgage, which our customers, and indeed large class of investors are thorough y familiar.
 To those and that other large class of con- seryatiye investors we take great pride in off, fering the Gold Debenture, as we believe it to become the popular investment of the day.
 By this we do not mean to detract from the credit justly due the best Real Estate Mort gage Loans, which unquestionably furnish absolute security, especially so where in the guaranteed form. But, if improvement has been made [as we think there has), the care ful investor is entitled to the benefit.
 We offer guaranteed Farm Mortgages, pay ing z per cent semi-annual interest, and GOLD DEBENTUREs, paying per cent semi-annual interest, principal payable in 1( years in gold.

EDITOR JOURNAL:-I have Observ-
ed in the Herald, recently. several
articles rejecting on Mr.. y. N.
Campbell. because he, as Is alleged,
did not serve in the Union armies.
As In -se assertions and imputations
convey 8 very unjust and untrue
representation Of the facts and con-
stitute cruel and unwarranted re-
fiections upon the life OF one Of our
most honorable snd unselfish ciii-
zens, cannot conceive that there Is
any thing IL the necessities Of pesOn-
al partizen warfare that should per-
init them to pass unanswered.

my duty To answer
When the war broke out Salina
wss in u peculiar situstion. Il con-
stituted small. weak colony, on
the verge OF civilization, exposed TO
the raids Of bands Of Southern
guerillzs. One Of these took and
plundered the town. and too,
the hostile savages. the KiOwas
ani COmanches being at that time
engaged in active war. shortly
after the war Of the rebellion broke
out a company Of men volunteered
in Sallna, which included nearly all
the able-bOdied men IN the country,
Mr. A NJ. Campbell being one OF
the first volunteers. The company
did not succeed In getting into any
Of the early regimental Organiza-
tiOns, and the individuals cOmpOs-
Ink il largely drifted into other COM
mands. There was among other
things a reluctance on the part OF
the state authorities 10 taking all
the men away from an exposed from
tier. II was, indeed, totally out OF
question to leave nothing hut de-
fenseless women and children In
Salina, some Of US must stay. No
one was more esger to go than Mr..
Campbell. I told him / wanted to
20, and, II he did i did not see how
could, and strenuOusly urged him to
remain and help protect those LEI.
in Salina. In point Of fact the very
lew men left In Salina had Just about
az dangerous n task as thOse who
went 20 the front. A stockade fOrI
had 10 be erected by them, which
stood at the corner OF Seventh street
aud Iron avenue, and the few men
in town during the war had TO be
uuder arms TO stand guard and also
to Join expeditions against the
Indians. Indeed they were soldiers,
but without pay, bounty or pensions.
In these frontier operations Mr..
Campbell was an unselfsh and
prominent actor. Neither Is Il
proper to say that he stayed at hume
and clicked postal stamps for a big
salary" His salary then as post
master was twelve dollars a year, and
! Tor that pittauce he not only took
! care OF aud assorted and distributed
| the mails but without further COM
| pensation rode on his own horse
once or twice a week to Solomon, the
nearest post route station, 10 get the
/ mails. In fact no otherer respOn-
slble person would take the place.
IL has now risen to be a paying
I office, but the old settlers have not
/ forgotten when II was a public be-
nevolence to keepit.

remember that Mr.. Mcdonnell was
compelled sume time since TO with
draw from business on account of
his eyes, which, with successful
treatment and a season Of compara-
tive quiet, are, we are happy TO say,
fully restored. He again feels slfe
to enter upon active business. A
few words concerning this we'll
known gentleman and the business
which he has by industry and per-
severence built up and established,
will, we are sure, be appreciated by
our readers. He came to Salina a
few years ago when the real estate
bushes was dull and lifeless, and
by his fresh vigor and energy, with
new and correct methods, infused
new life and spirit into the busines.
Mr.. McCOnnell's Real Estate Re-
porter, which we published from
the very beginning of his work here,
and circulated very extensively here
and in the east, has been the best
work Of the kind ever done in SG-
line county to build up our county
and city. aud has made his name
and business very we'll and favors-
hly known.
